Anchovy, Engraulis Japonica were caught by scoop net with fishing lamp in the surrounding water of Cheju and Seogwipo, and their gathering depth, gathering effects, change of catch by the age of the moon and submarine illumination were investigated from May to August 1985. Fish finder (SR-385) and fishing lamp (1 Kw incandescent) were set up at one meter of starboard of scoop net and one meter ahead of the prow together with two meters above the water surface respectively. The submarine illumunation was measured at 2m interval to both vertical direction of $0~18m$ and horizontal direction of $0~12m$ form the standard point which is to be 0.1m depth right under the fishing lamp. The catch of anchovy by scoop net was almost $90\%$ of total amount during the early period and the late period in moon age while as low as $10\%$ only was cought during the middle period. The catching depth of anchovy shoals by scoop net with fishing lamp was approximately $2~5m$ and submarine illuminations were $20~42$ Lux, $24~48$ Lux in Cheju and Seogwipo respec lively. Submarine illumination which could be cought by scoop net with fishing lamp should be $7~12$ times lighter than before gathering since the shoals swiming at $10~15m$ depth which is $1.7~7$ Lux illumination made by 1 Kw. AC 100V incandescent lamp, a surface gathering lamp of 2m high above anchovy scoop net came up to $2~5m$ depth which is $20~42$ Lux illumination. The catching depth of anchovy by scoop net was $2~3m$ and this could be increased to 4m even though the AC voltage was decreased from 100V to 80V at final fishing stage.
